awesome that the port is half of the box

Nice job. How big is that box, and what is it tuned to?

I've always wondered how to port a TC-3000, I imagined it would take a long *** port that would take up a lot of space......yeah, like yours.

Nice job on the box and design.

Have you considered using PR's instead? You could have a tiny little box using them, and it would be very B.A. (that's for bad ***, I just shortened it), it would be a BAMF. (bas *** mother fucker, again, shortened)

Sick sick work looks good man.

Wouldn't that many bends cause some turbulance (sp?) or maybe port noise. I've always tryied to stay away form lots of port bends but what do i know? Not much I'll tell ya that...

Either way, looks awesome!! U Deffenelty got some skill there!!

Looks great Hector! Keep coming with the pics!! Excited to see the final result. Btw, sorry if i didn't respond last night. I'll tell you what happen over on YM.

Get at me bro! Lata.

Amazing build quality, man. Question. What exactly do you gain by having a port like that? Whats the purpose? (honest question) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/hide.gif.2d479cfd917eedfe201353b91522ceab.gif

The purpose is to have a low tuned enclosure? How else would he get a low tuned enclosure? He's not looking forward for high numbers on this enclosure, but he's looking for clean, low, and loud bass.

24 hz ftw!!!

24hzmg: thats what i had my HT tunned at. But wouldnt tunning it to 29hz yeild the same performance, since theres no difference when tunning is below 30?

That port is insane. You could put some lab mice in there, and they still wouldn't be able to find their way out.

 

[xluben 10+ year member]

wouldn't a larger, higher tuned box allow you to achieve more output (and possibly a flatter response curve if cabin gain is correctly accounted for)?

sorry for the late reply and lack of pics my internet was down last night and my wife took my cam. but ill have pics later on today. and thanks for the compliment.

let me answer some q? for you guys.

i have considered it. but not for this build. maybe for the next one.

thanks, same here i try to keep the port as straight as posible. but in this case. with the lack of space i had to go with this kind of port. but to help control turbulance i have added 45* angles on every 180* bend. this should keep port noise to a minimum.

ill be on later tonight. will talk laters.

there is the answere to josh. thanks dante.

it does make a diffrence tuning below 29Hz or 30Hz, it would of given me a peak at those freaks. wich i did not want. i was actualy looking for the flatest freq responce i can get. so that when cabin gaing comes in to play it wouldnt take much eqing to bring it back to flat. instead of trying to boost freqs. i just attenuate the freqs which is easier.

wouldn't a larger, higher tuned box allow you to achieve more output (and possibly a flatter response curve if cabin gain is correctly accounted for)?

its a trunk car. not an suv so there are allot of factors that take away then gain. cabin gain would be very difficult to calculate. so starting with a flat tuned enclosure will be way easyer to tune then having an enclosure wich has lots of peaks and valeys on the freq responce.

you see, you dont accomplish the same by wiping your *** before you take a shit, as you do if you wipe after. right. lol j/k

pics will be up later. and if i get it installed ill provide a review.
